Digital Printing vs. the Traditional method in
photography
For the past years our technology has been
continuously evolving and it has completely improved
graphics, artworks and printing. This new
breakthrough in technology has made printing
affordable and easy to use. Printings for
photographers have been made very easy and
consultative. More photographers have switched from
the old style to the modern enlarged printing with
the digital use of inkjet.
Before photographers used to go through the process
of scanning of the negatives from the pictures they
have taken while the modern use of digital cameras
are now taking it into effect to make perfect
digital shots. This is the very reason more
photographers have been switching to the digital
age. Digital image printing is developed in
corresponding softwares like PhotoShop, CorelDraw
and may other softwares. But among them all,
Photoshop is the commonly used software application
to meet the standard and demands of clearer and
precise digital prints. So it is now difficult for
photographers to sell out the equipments they used
in the darkroom.
With the growth of printing technology, there are
also issues on the rise whether digital printing
compared to the old way of printing is useful and
lasting. Some have been pondering over that
question. They also ask if digital printing will
contain the same level like that of the traditional
image outputs. For other critiques, they said
printing in inkjet is printing sort of an imitation
for the original because they are being printed with
the use of ink while the old style contained natural
mixture for photography purposes. But even with the
advancement in digital photo printing, still others
appreciate the old way of printing.
The issue of this digital printing has started when
they began questioning if inkjet prints will give a
long-lasting effect as that of emulsion printouts.
They have questioned if inkjet prints will endure
the exposure longer and still maintain its quality.
But some have quite proven that the traditional
prints have not lasted that long and have slowly
been fading in time and also with the belief that
there really will be no image to withstand a long
period of time. Since the enhancement in digital
technology is ever growing, questions and issues
regarding its performance have been lessened for it
has played its role.
Inkjet prints have contributed much to giving an
eventual effect in the uniqueness of images. The
printing of inkjets have divided tiny dots into the
paper making it appear more realistic and
attraction. This is just to say that these new
printing technology has done their own way and part
to the creativeness and finesse considering their
own defined artworks.
The acceptance of inkjet prints has been very
unpredictable. In some exhibit and art galleries,
they allow the inkjet prints for their designs, but
some ignore them. Some designers would still prefer
the traditional emulsion prints to be part of their
artworks. For those who rely on the digital
printing, they rather use it for long and not switch
back to the old method. It has been found out that
in time, when digital printing will continue its
rise in the technology, many will be clinging and
will switch on to it.
The use of digital printing requires refinement with
art skills and a little extra effort as that of the
traditional method of printing. Accuracy and
preciseness should be followed and maintained. To
enhance printing abilities, the aid of Photoshop
learning is very useful. It has been found out that
the use of application of digital printing has made
enlarging of prints and images easily which
traditional printing cannot perform.
Dealing with the newest trend in the new technology
of printing has been very time consuming and produce
outputs faster but still these issues cannot be
overcome easily. But no matter how these issues
arise, it is still up to you to make a pick whether
to rely and stay in the old darkroom method or
advance your way through.
